EZPZ FileTurn Korean word processor documents into PDF without Hancom Office. The document engine is downloaded to your browser instead of your file being sent away.
No upload
HWP or HWPX file to convert
Converted inside this browser, without Hancom Office. Your file is never uploaded.
Both HWP 5.0 and HWPX are accepted. You can drop several at once.
The first run downloads the document engine and Korean fonts. After that it starts right away.
The page count is shown, along with anything that could not be carried over.
Where an HWP document breaks its lines, pages and table cells is decided by rules built into Hancom Office. This tool runs a document engine (rhwp) that reproduces those rules in your browser, draws each page, and then writes that page into the PDF. Tables and page breaks land where they were.
Tables, pictures, shapes, gradients, headers, footers and page numbers all carry over. Nothing is baked into a bitmap: lines stay lines and text stays text, so you can select and search the PDF and print it without blur.
The Hancom fonts embedded in the original (HCR Batang and friends) are licensed and cannot be redistributed. Text is drawn with Nanum Gothic and Nanum Myeongjo instead, with Noto Sans KR filling in Hanja and Kana. A document set in a gothic face gets gothic; one set in a serif face gets myeongjo.
Letterforms differ slightly, but every glyph is placed at the coordinate the engine computed, so lines and pages do not shift. Symbols that only exist inside Hancom fonts have no glyph anywhere and are left out. The result tells you how many characters that was.
Most HWP converters upload your file, run Hancom Office or LibreOffice on a server, and hand back a PDF. For official documents and contracts that is a real disclosure. This tool goes the other way: an 8MB engine and the fonts come down to your browser, and the document never leaves your device.
That is why the first run takes a moment. Later files reuse the engine that is already there: a 76-page government report finishes in a few seconds.
Yes. HWP and HWPX can be mixed in the same batch. There is also a dedicated HWPX page.
Drop the file and a password box appears. Enter the password and run it again. DRM protected documents cannot be opened.
Hancom fonts cannot be redistributed, so text is drawn with Nanum fonts. Glyph positions are unchanged, so the layout holds.
HWP 5.0 (2002 and later) and HWPX are supported. Older formats such as HWP 3.0 cannot be read.
Yes. Text is written as text, so copying, searching and screen readers all work.
No. Both the document engine and the PDF writer run inside your browser.
A Korean partner sends you a .hwp file. Your machine has no idea what it is, and the sender has no idea why that is a problem. Someone has to turn it into a PDF, and you do not have Hancom Office.
The international office at your university emails an application form. HR shares the new leave policy. A notice from your district office comes with an attachment. All of them end in .hwp or .hwpx, and your laptop has no idea what to do with them.
You need an HWPX file as a PDF, to print it, attach it to an email or just read it. Word refuses to open it, and every converter you find wants you to upload the file first.
This product was developed with reference to the HWP document file (.hwp) specification published by Hancom.
